b. 138

composition: Op. 24 No. 4, Mazurka in B♭ minor

..

According to the principles governing use of cautionary accidentals that we have adopted, the  before g flat in the 3rd chord is unnecessary. The reason why Chopin put it in A (→GE→FE→EE) was probably the non-typical chord orthography that may bring associations with the diminished triad g - c sharp1- e1. Chopin introduced that enharmonically changed notation in the last phase of writing A, which is testified by the visible deletion of the chord originally written as the previous one.
